We have read on the internet that Idaho Conservation League has filed a lawsuit against AMRA President Shannon Poe for suction dredging on the SF Clearwater. ICL is well known for suing and settling lawsuits, especially with the USFS. We have not seen any documents so we will not be commenting on the content of […]
Update from the SF Clearwater, Idaho Last night two of the AMRA dredgers were cited for dredging without a PoO (Plan of Operations) by the Forest Service. Now, we will be able to present this case, along with the mountain of evidence we have obtained including video, affidavits, documents, testimony and case law […]
Update from the SF Clearwater, Idaho And an update about dredging in California in 2019 We had a meeting with Idaho Dept of Water Resources yesterday in Boise over our notices that we were out of compliance (remember, these are not Cheryl Probert and the USFS) and after a lengthy meeting, we are back to […]
Update: Yes folks, we are aware of the article out of Spokane which appears to be distributed by the Lewiston far left media. Our thoughts…pffft. We have given quite a few interviews and you’ll be seeing them shortly. The Lewiston Tribune whom is quite left on their political ideology has written articles on dredging […]
I have just received an email from IDWR (Idaho Department of Water Resources) and they are denying me the right to mine my claim about 30′ from their “approved area” they designated. They have not given me a reason, just a denial. This is an area which was approved last year by IDWR for […]
Update from the South Fork Clearwater, Saturday July 28, 2018 No miners were cited yesterday. Brooks Beegle (the LEO) was given another “stand down” order citing officer safety. As I write this, I cannot hide my sincere disbelief at the doubling and tripling down by the USFS on this statement. Brooks is no more […]
South Fork Clearwater update, July 26: Yet another day partially missed to deal with this USFS nonsense. We drove to Grangeville to call a gentleman in Missoula MT at the regional HQ for the USFS. He was cordial, but said some things we found quite baffling. He stated all the miners he’s heard from […]
It is Wednesday evening and we wanted to share one more thing the USFS has done to AMRA. Pictured here is a “Notice of Violation” for “occupancy”. This is given out to people who over stay their 14 days on public lands while camping. It was dated July 18th and given ONLY to the […]
Hello from the South Fork Clearwater. Firstly, we’d like to remind everyone internet is quite a ways away from our claim and our camp so we cannot get emails, therefore the hundreds I am getting with go unanswered for a while. Phone service is non-existent, so calling if futile. That being said, if the Washington […]
I am posting the letter (email) we sent to the USFS Minerals Examiner last night in response to their notice left on our windshields. You can read it below, but also wanted to say we did darn good dredging today …..all of today. We just came out of the water and it is 6pm. We […]
